Migrating issues, tasks, and projects from Jira to Monday.com is a crucial step when transitioning project management platforms. Whether your team is shifting tools, consolidating data, or merging teams, Getint’s Migration Feature ensures an accurate and structured transfer of historical data.
Unlike standard integrations, which sync new and updated items, the migration feature allows for bulk transfer of existing items while maintaining their associated data, including custom fields, relationships, and hierarchies.
This guide walks you through the step-by-step process of setting up and executing a Jira to Monday migration using Getint.
Migrating historical data requires a migration license, as a standard integration license will not suffice. Migration licenses are billed separately from integration licenses.
To acquire a migration license, please visit our and click on the Migration tab for more details. Contact our team through our to proceed with your purchase.
Before purchasing a license, you can test the migration with a trial version, which allows:
Up to 20 migration runs
A maximum of 5 items per run
To access the trial version, follow the steps here:
Also, see our full migration guide: .
Before you begin, ensure that all custom fields required on both Jira and Monday.com are created and available. If a counterpart field is missing on either side, it must be created first to allow mapping.
If a field in Jira doesn’t have a direct counterpart in Monday.com (e.g., assignees, priority), you can still capture its value by using a custom text field and the Use label from the other side option.
Steps:
Create a custom Text field in Monday.com.
In the field mapping screen, select the Jira field to be migrated and map it to the new custom field in Monday.
Enable Use label from the other side.
This approach will insert the label/value of the original field into the destination field. Especially helpful for migrating the Assignees. You probably don’t want to recreate the accounts of people no longer in the company in Jira. This way, no mapping is required; we will inject the value into a text field.
Once your integration is set, open the Getint App and:
Click Migrate Data from the left-side menu.
Check the Enable Migration on the Next Run box to proceed.
Migration Direction: Define whether data flows from Jira to Monday or vice versa.
Handling of Previously Migrated Items: Choose how to handle items that were already migrated:
Replace (overwrite existing items)
Update (sync only new changes)
Skip (ignore already migrated items)
Selective Resync (Optional): If a previous migration was incomplete, choose specific fields to resync, such as Assignee, Status, and Description.
To resync all fields, enter ALL.
For any custom field creation steps, refer to our guide:
You can also migrate values from multiple source fields into one text field. You can read more about how to set up this option .
Before migration, you must set up an integration between Jira and Monday.com. Follow our to configure the connection.
